Selecting Your Next Employer: Conducting Company Research
What a company reports about itself
Many public companies are required to give an annual report on their financials, including progress with products and services, challanges faced as well as new initiatives and ventures.
Some private companies will also choose to provide limited data about thier company's holdings.

- operations and line of business
- strategic information and plans for growth
- anticipated challenges
- financial situation (revenues, assets, liabilities, etc.)
Database: Thomson Research
